American Airlines is investing another $125 million into redeveloping a terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport, one of the most competitive airports for the Fort Worth-based carrier’s operations.
It shores up a key connecting point for American Airlines’ international traffic, the eighth busiest airport in the carrier’s network and the fifth busiest for foreign flights. American flies to more than two dozen international locations from JFK, while nearby LaGuardia is bigger for domestic routes.
In partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and developer Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Airports, the carrier will spend the money renovating and updating the airport’s Terminal 8 with a new Great Hall and over 60 new retail and restaurant options.
